Ponds: Cosmetics and Pond

1.1Introduction:Pond's Cream was invented in the United States as a medicine by scientist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) in 1846. Mr. Pond extracted a healing tea from witch hazel, with which he discovered he could heal small cuts and other ailments. The product was named "Golden Treasure", after Theron died, it would be known as "Pond's Extract". In 1846, the "T.T. Pond Company" was formed, with Pond and other business people as investors. Theron Pond's health was failing, however, so he sold his portion of the company soon after, and he died in 1852.The company then moved to Connecticut and later to New York City. In 1886, Pond's began to advertise nationally. They would, however, advertise under the name of Pond's Healing until 1910. By the twentieth century, the company's main strategy was geared towards selling cosmetics products, and so the "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and the "Pond's Cold Cream" were created, marking the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry. In 1987, the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company by most known as "Chesebrough-Ponds", was acquired by Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, giving "Pond's Creams" a more international reach. Today Ponds is sold around the world. Its strengths are in Spain, India, Japan and Thailand. 1.2Tagline:

The Pond Incident
When I was a child I was always told about how strong I was. This was a big deal since I wasn’t even supposed to survive due to having the umbilical cord around my neck. The doctors told my parents that if I survived the first seventy two hours, they would see how much brain damage I had. It wasn’t IF I would have brain damage, but how much. I was to be one of the lucky ones. Not only did I live, but I didn’t have brain damage that anyone could find. I was however, cross-eyed until I was about a year old. I also had every childhood illness before I was a year old. I had chicken pox at three months, German measles at six months, and mumps at nine months. I even had surgery at six weeks old for an abscess in my chest.
My family has always told stories of my unusual strength. They were not just about my physical strength but my mental strength as well. I was often told about when I was a year old and my parents found me hanging off the edge of the sink by my fingertips, after I tipped over the stool on which I had been climbing. They told me I never made a sound, but just hung there waiting for someone to get me down. I love the one told to me, when my grandfather lifted me onto the swing set and told me bring my toes up to touch my nose. I would love to be able to still do that! When I was about four, I picked up a baby copperhead from a creek and carried it back to our campsite....

Mark Rydell's "On Golden Pond" is a drama that emphasizes the stages people of various ages endures. Utilizing Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages as learned in class, each of the main characters can be placed within a stage and their age-related crises analyzed. The film being so close to a family's life, it becomes relatable to the audience, prompting personal reactions as well as implementing life examples of some of the theories studied in class. As there are plenty of characters that all develop changes throughout the movie, the most influential would be the main character, Norman Thayer. Throughout the movie Norman shows many prime examples or physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. All of these are tied into Norman's challenge of accepting the fact of his own age and maybe the idea of death.
On Golden Pond is based off of accepting the fact of age, family, and dying. With this being the main focus the story goes deep and wraps around Norman's physical state. Norman is approaching his Eightieth birthday, and one can only imagine a person's physical appearance at this age. He is wrinkled all along his body, kind of like a shriveled up prune. Glasses rest upon his face, and he has very little hair, which he hides with a fisherman hat. Norman has many health problems such as arthritis and palpitations, but his most pressing health issue is his slow...

Mike Tidwell’s “The Ponds of Kalambayi,” tells a story of man sent on a mission of cross-cultural experience. He began his journey in the Peace Corps, lead by a women named Rayleen who taught him how to give villagers the skills to farm fish in ponds. “So much time in the Third World left inside her a hard-earned knowledge of poverty’s sadness and an understanding of how hard it is to change. But change was always possible, she told us” (Tidwell 16). The Peace Corps sent Mike on a journey that taught him more than just how to farm fish, but a trip that changed his idea of connection, realization of disconnection, awareness of the world, perspectives of “the other,” and the basis of community.
Connection and sharing go hand in hand, these are factors that keep the Kalambayi people and culture alive. Sharing is so vital in the Kalambayan culture because of its usefulness as a survival method. An example of this is when the Kalambayans who own ponds give away 20-50% of harvested fish to the rest of the village. Being that Kalambayi is an interdependent community means that the people are dependent of each other in order to survive which requires help from everyone. Mike, a westerner living in America which is an independent community, at first only sees a fish farming enterprise. He struggles to understand these foreign normalities in Kalambayi because he lives in a capitalistic world, where a...

On Golden Pond
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is one of the best-know theories of personality in psychology. Erikson believed that personality develops in six individual stages. In the movie On Golden Pond, each of the characters display different psychosocial stages.
Norman Thayer shows Erikson's last stage, integrity vs. despair. In the movie Norman is bitter, and is pessimistic. Many times in the movie he states how old he is, and even claims hes “ancient” . His wife, Ethel, is extremely optimistic about things. In the movie they get prepared for Normans eightieth birthday. Ethel reads a letter from their daughter Chelsea saying that she, her fiance, and his son will be coming there for his birthday. In this moment Norman acts very disinterested and rude. Norman does many other things to show this psychosocial stage in his life.
Ethel is also in Erikson's last psychosocial stage. She is more on the integrity side, showing that she is nurturing and excitable. Many times in the movie she shows how satisfied she is with life and feels often accomplished. She sees the beauty in things and is interested in the loons. She makes a reference to the loons many times in the movie, comparing it to her life.

...Mark Rydell’s “On Golden Pond” is a drama that emphasizes the stages people of various ages endures. Utilizing Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages as learned in Dr. Malone’s class, each of the main characters can be placed within a stage and their age-related crises analyzed. As this film is a drama, it was relatable to the audience, prompting personal reactions as well as implementing life examples of some of the theories studied in Malone’s class.
Perhaps the most significant character, Norman Thayer is a force to be reckoned with. A grumpy old miser, Norman may appear at times to not fully be capable of taking care of himself; however, he is still very sharp. Norman demonstrates Erikson’s last stage, termed Late Adulthood, which features the issue of integrity versus despair.
A person in late adulthood is much more concerned with his long-term future, death, than someone in a younger life stage. Early in the film Ethel remarks that death is all Norman thinks about, to which Norman responds, death is the most fascinating thing he has to think about. Besides looking into the future and comprehending death, a person in late adulthood, looks back upon his life and if he is satisfied with his life, past and presently, he feels a sense of integrity. However, if the person is dissatisfied with his life he is in a crisis of despair. It is obvious Norman is not satisfied with his life when he begins to browse the newspapers in search of a job. Norman often...

TENSE: In all sections of the paper, present tense should be used to report background that is already established. For example, "The cell membrane is the barrier which separates the inside of the cell from the outside." Use future tense for work that you will do. For example, "This experiment will test the hypothesis that some anti-microbial agents can permeate the cell membrane during division to inhibit growth." Use past tense to describe the methods (what you did) and results of your experiment. A "Table of Contents" is not necessary.
Use a regular font such as Ariel or Times New Roman at 12 size font and double spaced.
HEADINGS
Headings show organization and identify the topic for a section or a block of information. Capital letters, underlining, point size, and position on the page help to differentiate rank or level.
